Webinar: To Retime or Not to Retime? Getting Ready for PCIe and Ethernet over Linear Pluggable Optics
August 15 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
As AI models’ demand for computational power escalates at an unprecedented rate, the demand for high-speed, efficient, and low-power solutions has never been greater. This Synopsys webinar will explore the latest technologies and industry trends driving the need to bring optical interconnects deeper into the networking and computing fabrics.
Attendees will gain insights into advanced co-simulation techniques to enhance design accuracy and performance, strategies for minimizing power consumption without compromising on performance. We will explore retimed and linear-drive interfaces, exploring LPO, NPO and CPO use cases, including silicon-proofpoints with 224G Ethernet and PCIe 7.0/6.x over optics.
Join us for an in-depth discussion to learn how these optical interfaces will unlock even larger, more powerful AI clusters for hyperscale data centers.
